This Company is established to carry out, on an impor tant scale, the manufacture of steel under Bessemer's or other patents, to construct steel ordnance, manufacture steel shot and shell, draw steel wire, manufacture and erect steam engines, boilers, and all kinds of machinery and im plements for mining, manufacturing, and agricultural pur poses, and to carry on the business of engineers and mill wrights, at Tavistock, in the county of Devon. The Directors have entered into an agreement for the purchase, on terms favourable for the Company, of the pre mises, machinery, plant, stock in trade, patent rights and goodwill of the business of Messrs. Gill and Company, Engineers and Iron-founders, of Tavistock, whose works have been successfully carried on for the last sixty years, and who have long since established a reputation for the excellence of their manufacture of steam engines and boilers, chains, hammered iron, edge tools, and every description of mining and other machinery. The property consists of about thirteen acres of land, held under a long lease from the Duke of Bedford, and comprises, besides the ground devoted to the works, a com fortable mansion with plantations and grounds, a house for the manager, and cottages and gardens for the workmen, all of which are let at remunerative rentals. There is also never-failing water-power, maintained at the cost of the Duke of B e df or d , sufficient to carry on all the operations of the Company, and by means of which great economy and a proportionate increase of profit is secured. The property and business thus purchased include several valuable patent rights and contracts ; amongst others a very advantageous contract for the extensive manufacture of Crease's Pneumatic Tunnelling Engines, which are destined to effect a comp l ete revolution in the scientific working of mines; also a licence on favourable terms to manufacture the Blakely guns, for which profitable contracts can be im mediately obtained. Other very important contracts, which the board consider will alone produce a good dividend to the shareholders, have been pr ov i s i ona ll y secure d , an d w ill be compl e t e d as soon as the Company is in a position to undertake them. The Directors only consider it necessary to allude to the large profits realised by the manufacture of steel (which at the present cost of its manufacture ultimately take the place of iron in most instances), and the remunerative business of manufacturing steel ordnance, shot, and shell, for foreign Governmente, to satisfy the shareholders that handsome dividends will be realised. The premises are easily accessible by canal from Ply mouth Sound, and by railway from all other parts of the kingdom, and being situated in the midst of a prosperous and constantly increasing mining district, a large amount of business with mines can be ensured. The Company will take possession of the works on the 30th of April, 1864, and are to be entitled to the profits of Messrs. Gill and Co.'s business since the 30th of September, 1863, as well as the benefit of all contracts entered into since that date. No promotion money whatever will be paid. Of the first issue of 6,000 shares, nearly one-half have been subscribed for, and the remainder are now offered to the public. Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association can be inspected at the offices of the Company, and of the Solicitors, 43, Chancery-lane, and 77, Gresham House, Old Broad -street. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares can be obtained at the Offices of the Company; of the Bankers to the Company, iu London and Tavistock; of the Brokers; and of the Solicitors. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in full, Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made avail able toward s t h e payment due on allotment, and the balance (if any) will be returned to the applicant.

PROSPECTUS. The Eastern Exchange Bank(Limited), is formed to supply a want which has been long felt, and its value will be imme diate 3 , recognised. Althuugh Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac tures i f Lancashire and Yorkshire pass, it ho; not a single Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean, the East Indies, China, or Australia. The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into Liverpool was of a va'ue of upwards of sixty millions, making a total of one hundred millions sterling-. Whilst London has up war d s o f fifty Banks, with branches in different countries, established for the purpose of affording every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of this description, with i a head-quarters in Liverpool, con nected with the East.

Morris, and the usual followers of the Epsom stable, threw in for large stakes. A quarter of an hour prior to the run ning of the Dee Stakes the weather took up and remained fine and warm.

Yesterday Major• General H. Eyre, commanding the troops in the Chatham district, commenced his half-yearly inspection of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Colonel C. J. B. Riddell, C,8., consisting of the first division of the depot brigade. The officers and men were drawn up within the for- tification at headquarters. In the course of his in spection, General Eyre witnessed the various bat teries go through the customary manoeuvres, and afterwards inspected the barrack-buildings, schools, institute, hospitals, and the other military establish • ments. The number of men of the Royal Artillery at headquarters is now very strong, in anticipation of a large demand being made for reinforcements for India and the colonies. The half-yearly inspection of the pensioners, in mates of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, took place yesterday morning. In the absence of the Governor, Field Marshal Sir E. Blakeney, G.C.8., who is still _ . suffering from impaired health, Gen. Sir A. Wood ford, G.C.8., the lieutenant-governor, inspected the pensioners. About 500 of the veterans assembled for inspection, and they passed muster to the entire satisfaction of the lieutenant-governor. Quarterly Return of Marriages, Births, and Deaths, The quarterly return, just issued by authority of the Registrar-General, comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,000 registrars in all the dis tricts of England during the winter quarter ended March 31, 1864; and the marriages in 12,653 churches or chapels, about 4,954 registered places of worship unconnected with the Established Church, and 641 superintendent registrars' offices in the quarter ending Dec. 31, 1863. With an increas ing population, the number of marriages was greater than it had been before in any quarter. The mar riage rate—that is, the proportion of persons mar ried to population —was high, though in some pre vious instances it had been higher. The registration of births was extraordinary, as not only were the births more numerous than at any former period, but relatively to population they were also nume rous beyond example during the last 10 years. As regards deaths, an unusually high rate of mortality attests the severity with which the inclemency of the weather pressed on the public health. MARRIAGES.—In the December quarter of 1863 the marriages were 51,974. They were about 3,000 more than hey had been in the corresponding quar ter of 1861 or in that of 1862. The populous districts of the cotton and woollen manufactures, as well as those of coal and iron, showed increased activity in nuptial celebrations, the result of increased or con tinued animation in their respective branches of in. dustry. In Staffordshire the marriages rose from 2,009 and 1,955 in the December quarters of 1861-2 to 2,291 in that of 1863 ; in Lancashire from 6,078 and 5,362 to 6,503; in the West Riding of York shire from 3,809 and 3,800 to 4,279 ; in South Wales from 1,695 and 1,771 to 1,827. In England and Wales about 8,000 persons entered into wedlock weekly. In London the number was about 1,200. The marriages in 1863 were 173,388. The marriage rate of the past year was I'6BB, against an average of 1.661, BIRTIIS.—The total number of births was 192,926 in the first quarter of the present year, of which 26,651 were in London. There was an increase on the number registered in the same period of 1863 in a- he eleven divisions, except London and the south-western counties. The number rose in the north-western counties (Cheshire and Lancashire) from 28,734 to 30,011. The annual birthrate in the quarter was 3.740 per cent., against an average of 3 . 605. It was singularly high, for of results obtained in the previous 10 years the highest was 3.702 in the June quarter of 1854. The birth rate rarely attains so high a point as 3.70 in any quarter, and the ave rage for a year is 3.47, As the births were 192,926, and the deaths were 143,030, in the same time, there was an excess in the former amounting to 40,806, and representing the natural increase of population in the quarter. EMIGRATION. —The emigration from the United Kingdom comprised about 10,923 English people, 2,175 Scotch, 24,779 Irish, and 3,160 foreigners, altogether 41,037 persons. Of the Irish all, except a section which did not count 3,000, went to the United States. Of the English about 6,614 persona sought the United States, 3,451 the Australian colo nies. The Scotch divided themselves almost equally between these two destinations. DEATHS AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—The deaths greatly exceed the average number. Seldom has a winter been more fatal, fur 143,030 deaths, 1,572 a day, were registered in 91 days, including the additional day of Leap-year, for which due correc tion is made. The mortality was at the rate of 2'773 per cent.; whereas the average of the season in the preceding ten years was 2.490 per cent.; thus the rate was nearly 28 instead of 25 in 1,000. 14,09 S persons died in excess of the a verage num• her. Upon dividing the population into two tious, the one living in th e district comprising the chief towns is found to have experienced the highest rate of mortality, or 2 . 974 per ce n t., while the mortality was at the rate of 2.508 in the small towns and in the country districts. The town rat e w as :I ‘ % ) ' 9 eages; thus Gr, the ecou u n s the increasetryrate22B above th e i r respective of the rate was g rea t er in the town than in the country districts. London suffered to an extraordinary extent, and is account able for a large share in the increase. The average annual rate of the winter quarter in London is 2'577 per cent., but in the last winter quarter the rate becomes 3 08S, or *5ll above the average. The funerals increased in the proportion of five or six. The rate of mortality in the south-eastern division was 18 per cent, higher than in the two preceding March quarters.

EGYPT, We have been favoured with the following ox. tract from a letter dated Cairo, April 19 :—" This has been a remarkable year in Egypt, counting from autumn last, when the murrain was at its height. It has not perfectly subsided to this day. The num ber of animals carried off is not precisely and pro. bably never will be exactly known. The Govern ment gave out 900,000, then 600,000, and I fancy they cannot have been less than 400,000. What ever the exact number, the result has been great scarcity of beef, which, causing the mutton to come more into demand, soon so diminished the supply of it that none was to be had on several occasions—fei— three days together. It was discovered at the same time, that is, towards the latter end of the winter, that the stock of grain was very low. The price quickly rose to 250 piastres the ardeb (170—X1), at which price it is now, and this by the econo• mist prices of the 26th March in Mark-lane is just 64 piastres per ardeb dearer than there. Then - the vegetables are scanty, cotton having supplanted everything. Wo had also a very cold winter, the thermometer having marked for some mornings in the latter part of January 10 degrees below freez ing point, and the canals had n good half inch thick of ice on them. This killed nearly ail the burseem, which greatly told on the horses. For a month or two, off and on, we had an excess of Khamseen, though for the last few days it has been cold enough. All these causes combined have developed typhus and smallpox to an extent that the deaths in Cairo, which should not exceed at this season 3t or 40, were five days ago reported to be 120 a day, and the villages are likewise in fected. " The Suez Canal Company have opened station at Shaloof, 14 kilometres north of Suez. Thither are we taken in a small dhahabeih, partly sailing and partly towed by camels, in two hours on the Sweet Water Canal, which terminates at about three-quarters of a mile from Suez with a sluice-gate, of which the sail is 13 centimetres above the quay of the hotel, reckoned to be 1-1 mtrs. above the main level of the sea. They are obliged to run off a considerable quantity of water from the sluice, or it would accumulate in the canal and overflow the banks. Indeed, in many places it percolates through the banks and forms large pools along the inner base. But these banks will con solidate in time. The fresh water canal is on a mean of 2 metres deep, and 26 metres wide at the water line, with slopes of two horizontal to one perpendicular for the banks inside and out, and must be pronounced a complete success. The effect on Suez is already visible. The population, hich some years ago was not more than 2,000, is stated to be now 14,000. The walls of the town have disappeared, and long streets aro laid out and partly built long. Good ground near the hotel is worth one Napoleon the square pike of metre. The French Messageries Company have run off a branch railway from the main line at a point, say half a mile, before it enters the old level of the town, and carried the branch along the back of the town, then along an embankment on the east side of the sandy spit, which embankment is made for about 2,000 metres towards the side on which the dock is being excavated, which, we were told, was 4,500 metres from the beach behind Suez. Of the dock had excavated a hole 50 inches in diame ter and seven metres deep, from which the sea was kept out by the embankment joined by the stuff out of the hole. The soil was for 20 feet clay and sand, then gravel, and at 27 feet they were on a concreted bed, but expected clay again under it. The dock will be 110 metres long, 25 wide, and have a direction W. 23 degs. S. when completed. Quays are to be added at either side of the expanse (towards the port), which will enable ships to come np and load and unload along. side. Around the site of the dock are spaces al• lotted to the Messageries, Peninsular and Oriental, and Mejidich Companies, for erecting warehouses, and I fancy that a large number of buildings will accumulate about the dock and along the sea em bankment. The Messageries have laid their plans very well. Their workshops by the side of the branch railway at the back of the town are on rather a large scale, with at present only one steam hammer, but with many other machines, and room for additional ones. This is where the railway station should have been, and where our people and the Foreign Office who for 23 years could not get a ship even at Suez, the Messageries are no sooner introduced into the Red Sea than they are allowed to construct a dock after their own idea at a cost to the Viceroy of £280,000, and have lately got an other £70,000 as a compensation for the Egyptian that andnot ruin hing labour they give upon the work. Until the Egyptian Office gives np its idea of influencing the Egyptian Viceroy through moral powers, commer cial interests, &c., we shall be nowhere in EgYPt• Let them read the spirit of the East, as given ill Bible.

These pills are the best regulators and strengtheners of the nerves, and the safest general purifiers. Nausea, head• ache,giddiness,numbness, and mental apathyyield to them. They despatch in a summary manner those distressing dys peptic symptoms, stomachic pains, fullness at the pit of the stomach, abdominal distension, and overcome bath capri cious appetite and confined bowels, the commonly accom panying signs of defective or deranged power. Holloway's Pills are particularly recommended to persons of studious and sedentary habits, who gradually sink into a nervous and debilitated state unless some resiorAtiVe, such as his pills, be occasionally taken, ;( 1 • • numbers.

The west tnidiand counties suff:red variously ; Staffordshire aud Shropahiro less proportionately from cold than the neighbouring counties. The north midland counties experienced a medium rate of mortality ; the deaths were 7,073 in the winter quarter of 1862, and 1468 in that of 1861. The annual rate in the last win ter was 25 . 84 per 1,000. The rate of the north western coo nties, Cheshire and Lancashire,was 30 97 per 1,000. The mortality et the counties which ai e now buffering from the cotton crisis has always been nigher than the mortality of the rest of the kingdom, owing chiefly to the sanitary defects of the town. It appears in the last report of the Central Executive Committee for relief of the distressed districts, that the number of persons employed in the reills fall time has increased from 210,739 in Jan. last to 232,307 in March, The report adds, that a large nutuber returned as out of work, are in fast earning considerable though irregular wages on out-door labour. There are some places in which the relief committees have suspended their operations without risk to the health of the population ; and out of 172 districts reported on there are only 101 in which voluntary funds are now distributed, Still there are many unions in which the distress of the unem ployed has been bat very slightly mitigated.
